Brought up in Scotland, I am a writer interested in myth, nature and culture. Along with a horse called Sasha, I journeyed 111 days across Europe, creating the first conclusive horse-trail across the Ligurian Alps in recorded history. My debut book, In Green, follows this time.

Aged 18 I went in search of the Tsaatan tribe in northern Mongolia. On my return, I rode the length of the UK on a Highland pony called Irelanda. The solo trip raised £38,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and laid the foundation for The Big Hoof: a Scottish registered outdoor mental health charity that creates long distance journeys with horses. To date, the charity has travelled over 4,500 miles and raised over £100,000 for causes focussed on mental health, wellbeing and child welfare in the UK and Europe.

From 2023 - 2025 I had the pleasure of working for NGO Insulate Ukraine. Driven by this time spent in Ukraine, I’ve been taken on as a creative director for an essayistic documentary on the meaning of Home - due to be released in the spring of 2027.

In 2025 I graduated with a master’s in Creative Writing from the University of Oxford. Beyond my travels, I am a freelance writer, contributing to The Guardian, National Geographic, The Scotsman and others.
